Lawn and yard tools compared on the spec sheet, not the box headline.

Lawn area, slope, cutting width, deck size, battery watt-hours, runtime, CFM, MPH and weight. YardPick reads each maker's spec page and ranks robot mowers, cordless push and self-propelled mowers, string trimmers and leaf blowers with the weights printed on every page. 4 categories, 78 products, 37 head-to-heads.

How it works

1. The maker's spec table

Every figure comes from the manufacturer's own product or spec page, linked on the product card. Jasion and Apollo publish only peak motor watts, and several makers skip weight or water ratings, so those cells stay blank and score as the weakest published value.

2. Different jobs, different weights

Robot mowers are weighted toward lawn area, slope and cutting width; push mowers toward deck width and battery; trimmers toward swath and runtime; blowers toward CFM and MPH.

3. Match it to your body

A flat quarter-acre and a steep acre with trees need different mowers. Check your local noise rules, use the guides, then check the price on Amazon. Commissions never change the order.
